Free Websites

These days having a website isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. Do you know that there are sites in the Internet that offer you the opportunity to create a free website? A free website where you can be able to update the content as you please without having to hire a professional web designer to do so. If you are interested in having a website, but you don't have enough resources to get the job done by a professional web designer, we have found sites that may help you to solve your problem.

The sites that we want to recommend you are:

Weebly.com

If your requirements aren't that many, and if you need to create a website in minutes Weebly offers you a very easy way create and publish a website online. You can choose a design, add content, customize the content and managing your pages by just dragging and dropping the pages into a place.

site2you.com

We recommend site2you.com for those who are interested in having a website with a more professional look. Creating free websites with site2you.com takes a little more time than Weebly, but you can get a better looking website too. Site2you also offers you the opportunity to create a complete website with unlimited pages for $59.95. Site2you.com website development program includes two full weeks of access to your website as you develop it, and permits download anytime after opening your account. You can also directly transfer the website to your hosting company servers using our transfer interface.

If you don't know where to get a hosting service, we recommend you to visit www.free-webhosts.com to select a free web hosting or service or go to www.webhostinggeeks.com where you can check their web hosting rating (e.g. Top 10 Web Hosting), select a great hosting service out of their web hosting awards list (e.g. Best Budget Hosting, Best Blog Hosting, etc.), learn from the webmasters reviews or customers reviews and check what services are using the webmasters (e.g. Hosts by Speed, Cheap Website Hosting, etc.)

Freewebs.com

HISCEC's top three free websites also includes freewebs.com. At Freewebs you can create your free website very easy, you can choose from more than 300 templates to give your website the look you want, you can add images, documents and multimedia files to your website using a very user friendly tool. If you are interested in conducting business online, Freewebs offers you the opportunity to do so by adding e-commerce capabilities to your website.

If you are planning to start selling your products or services online, you are going to need an online merchant account. We recommend you PayPal merchant account or Google checkout. Both companies offer very reliable services, they are very well known and customers trust them. If you need some basic information about what you need to know before choosing an internet merchant account, we recommend you to read a very interesting article published by findmyhosting.com; If you aren’t familiarized with e-commerce activities, we recommend you to visit a very well explained section about e-commerce provided by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

In the event, that none of our suggestions satisfied your needs or if for some reason you find Weebly, site2you and Freewebs too complicated you can create a free blog at blogger or wordpress.org. Both companies offer you very simple ways to have presence in the web in minutes.

Once you have your website, make sure to promote your business in the business directory of the Hispanic Chamber of E-commerce, it's free. To learn about the benefits of becoming a member of the Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce click here.
